Default Maf

Here is a picture of my MAF, I always wondered if it should have a bottem wire? It's the same MAF that came with the car and it didn't have a bottem wire when I descreened it and removed the heat sinks. It kinda looks like there should be a four wire, so I thought I'd ask.

That link work to put the picture in this message? If it didn't click my photos to the left under my name.

Ok thanks, I always wondered. Thought I'd take a pic and ask since I've got it taken apart.

That's all there is to it. A single thin wire (hot wire) connecting between two leads.

"you can descreen your maf? Did it help you out any? Not to hijack the thread or anything"

It will flow more air. It's one of the "free mods" and I like to work on my car so...
I used a can opener to take the screens off and a hand saw to remove the heat sinks. Also I used a sharp knife to remove a ridge of plastic sticking up in the middle of the tube. It was like a casting ridge. Then I put a little diaelectric grease around the o-ring so it would seal better.

"Looks like your flipp'n somebody off"

Yeah there's a couple I wanted to!

I still can't get the photo to post right.
